“Maryline’s great! She was very communicative and attentive to our cats needs. She came by for a meet-&-greet, followed the instructions we left, sent us lots of pictures of Clive and updates. We felt Clive was in good hands which means a lot when leaving our furr baby in someone else’s care. Highly recommend Maryline!”
About: I’ve had four dogs of my own and sat for many pets including cats, birds, reptiles, bunnies, and fish so I have experience on how to properly care for your baby. I am able to sit, walk, drop in, or play with your pets! I am always open to any special requests like baths or trips to the groomers. If you have a lonely dog, i can arrange play dates with my cockapoo who is potty trained and ready to play. I love nature so if you’ve got an explorer on your hands, I can arrange hikes, empty dog park trips, and scenic walks! My schedule is also pretty flexible, so don't hesitate to contact me! Im new to New York area and have a flexible schedule to care for your pets! I’m currently available any day of the week and for repeat care! I like to keep your pets comfortable in their routine! Taking them on engaging walks at the provided time, having multiple play times to mentally stimulate them, and giving them so much love!
About: Hi I’m Gretchen! I’ve always loved animals and three years ago I got my own dog, the cutest Sunny. Since then I’ve cared for our dog and watched many others. At our house your dog would get at least one long walk a day (a minimum of two miles), excellent attention throughout day (I work from home) a fun home environment (lots of playing) and tons of snuggles. I have an active dog so go on at least one long walk a day and would love to bring your pup with us. I work from my home office so am around all day. I have a very friendly 3 year old Australian Shepard mix that loves to play and hang with other dogs. My 11 year old son also loves to pet dogs and give them tons of attention.
“Christina was the best! She sent us tons of photos and you could tell from them that she and our dogs were having a blast. She even picked up Finn's slobbery-af frisbee and played with him to tire him out. She is easy to communicate with, fast to respond, and exceedingly thorough. I have no hesitancy at all to recommend Christina for your pup-sitting needs.”
“Henry was so great! Super responsive and even offered to come extra days free of charge just do our cat didn’t get lonely. I would definitely with him for our next trip”
“Jenna has been taking care of my pups for the past month or so and I couldn’t be happier. I work in NYC, 3 days a week and am gone about 12 hours an each day. It’s so nice to have found someone I can rely on to show up and take good care of my Benji and Bailey! Thanks so much Jenna!”
“I don't know where to begin... Rose is absolutely amazing! Her love for animals is so apparent. She has a special connection I have never seen before. My dog Denali is very cautious when he first meets new people. When he first met Rose, he acted like he knew her for years. He loved her from the moment he met her. It was definitely "love at first sight." 😀❤️That has never happened. During my last vacation I was so worried about him even though family was doing the drop-in visits. With Rose, I didn't feel that way. I knew she was wonderful and that Denali was in great hands. I also knew he was happy which eased my mind. She kept me updated everyday and sent the cutest pictures! I can't thank her enough. I will definitely be using her again in the future. 🐶🐾❤️”
About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all sizes and temperaments, belonging to family, friends, neighbors, or brand-new clients. My care is full of love, snuggles, and focused attention. I’m detail-oriented and follow owner instructions carefully, ensuring your pet stays safe, healthy, and happy. I have experience with everything from energetic puppies and kittens to gentle senior dogs and cats, and I’m comfortable administering medications or handling special diets. For me, spending time with animals is more than a job—it’s a joy and a privilege I look forward to whenever I have the opportunity. I look forward to meeting your pet! Since my full time job is remote and computer-based, I am able to accommodate in-home care for 1-2 weeks at a time. I care for pets by giving them loving attention and following owner instructions carefully. I make sure I understand all that is needed at the beginning of a job, and if questions arise, I never hesitate to contact the pet owner. I enjoy playing with pets and taking dogs out for walks, or even hikes if they and the owner are open to that. I'm basically ready to be their new favorite playmate :)
“Veronica was wonderful with our two cats. I would recommend her to anyone and would use her services again anytime. It was the first time I used a sitter, and it worked out perfectly”

Jenna has been taking care of my pups for the past month or so and I couldn’t be happier. I work in NYC, 3 days a week and am gone about 12 hours an each day. It’s so nice to have found someone I can rely on to show up and take good care of my Benji and Bailey! Thanks so much Jenna!
Catherine (Gianna) was GREAAAAAT. This was my first time booking someone to watch my cats rather than asking friends/family, so I was a bit apprehensive, but Gianna made me so comfortable. We did a meet and greet before our booking which was great. I have a skittish cat who doesn’t like to come out when there are other people around but to my surprise she had no problem coming out when Gianna was there. She sent pictures and gave me updates and even picked up a frame that had fell and cracked. Amazing experience and I will definitely be using Gianna to watch my babies during my next trip!
Loren went above and beyond in watching our cat while we were away for a week! This is the first time we’ve ever had someone outside of family watch our cat and we’re extremely anxious, but Loren put all that to ease! From the meet and greet to the final visit has been extremely stressless for us. She sent extremely detailed notes every visit and even brought up our garbage cans and vacuumed up litter in the basement. Would definitely book again!
Samantha is the best! Our cat, who usually hides from everyone, absolutely loves her visits and even waits for her at the door. She is consistent, always on time, communicates regularly, and is completely trustworthy. We feel so lucky to have her caring for our pet. Highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for reliable and loving assistance with their pet!
